Tasting
The wine has a very good aging capacity.
Visual appearance
In its youth, the Cuvée 1670 shows an intense and deep brilliant ruby red color. After years of ageing, the color becomes tiled.
At nose
The charming nose of ripe red fruits, associated with woody notes is complex but clean. There are also toasted notes of cocoa and coffee. With age, the fruit aromas are replaced by those more complex of tobacco, leather, toasted, vanilla.
On the palate
The attack is supple and the fruity finish highlights melted tannins.
